Exhibition Catalogue
“The exhibition marks a significant milestone in Vorster’s career, bringing his journey full circle as he returns to the gallery where he presented his first lino-cut exhibition in 2006.
Rather than looking back, The Shape of Passage presents an entirely new body of work that reflects the artistic growth, technical mastery, and creative confidence developed over two decades of dedication to the medium. The exhibition explores the idea of passage, not only as movement through landscapes and places, but also as journeys through time, memory, change, and personal experience.”

I am well known for my lino cuts. I create unique pieces of art with lively line work, vibrant colours and a whimsical thematic approach. My work must ultimately transport viewers into an energised dimension.
I love the three-dimensional quality of carving into lino. As the print is black and white it allows me to experiment with colour.
Other mediums include painting, charcoal drawings, monotypes, serigraph and woodcuts.
I welcome assignments as it mostly challenges me to explore new avenues in conceptualising an artwork.
It stretches my boundaries to work with themes and concepts that I might not have explored. This has often led to exhibitions and changes in my approach as pertains to content and technique.
I spend a long time planning and conceptualising the artwork before transferring the image to the Lino block. I have developed and followed this proven process through the years.
